Change application description at run-time
-
Hello all, I'm sure this must be straight forward, I am just don't know where to look. I've tried googl'ing but can't figure out a precise search criteria to hone in on what I need. I've looked in the Application class and the Environment class to no avail. What I wish to do is change the application description (as appears in the description column of task manager) to reflect the particular action that the application is performing. I now it's possible because internet explorer does exactly that with web pages. Pointing me to the appropriate class or P/Invoke API call would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance, David.

There's no special API for this. All it is is the text of the window title.
